Switch BACK to Wizard from Advanced

[northridge]

After a four hour scan I foolishly switched to Advanced mode and now have to click each jpeg title to see the image: I want to switch back to Wizard mode so that I can see them all as thumbnails so I can choose them quickly and easily.

How?And every time I click a file to recover it asks me where I want to recover it to: can I not set a default location?

Personally I always run in advanced mode. If you want to see thumbnails, right click in the display pane and select View/Thumbnails. I don't know a way of setting a default recovery folder but Recuva remembers the location (in each run) so you just have to press return when the question arises.

You can switch back to Wizard from Advanced located in: Options, then click the Run Wizard button.

But it will require a re-scan.

Thanks guys. I guess I could have found out that stuff eventually just by trial and error, but I'm too impatient.

 

Can you also tell me if defragging overwrites deleted files? As far as I understand the mechanics of it, defragging moves files to clear spaces: so it will overwrite the "empty space" left by a file designated as deleted.

Or am I way of the mark in my thinking?

Thanks again.

Yes, a defragger will use whatever free space it wants to, so some of the old file data may well be overwritten.
